Pishki - (Elephant'S Ear) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cup sour cream
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup extra virgin olive oil (for frying)

Preparation

In a mixing bowl, mix together sour cream, eggs, melted butter, salt, sugar and baking powder.
Add flour in small amounts, mixing well after each addition to make a soft dough.
Add additional flour if dough is too sticky.
On a lightly floured surface, knead dough about 12 times until dough is smooth.
On a lightly floured surface, roll dough out to 1/8\" thickness.
Cut dough into 4\" x 4\" squares, then cut diagonally to form triangles.
Using a sharp knife, slit each triangle of dough in several places.
In a frying pan, add olive oil and heat to medium-high heat.
Add dough triangles and fry until lightly browned, about 2 minutes.
Remove from oil onto paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Serve hot with your choice of jam or dust lightly with icing sugar.
You may also bake the triangles on a lightly buttered griddle until lightly browned on both sides, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Brush with melted butter when baked and serve with your choice of dips.
